We decided to take a stroll through their encampment at Zuccotti Park this weekend and here's some things we noticed:

Poor hygiene: While wandering through the camp site, I asked several people how long they've been there and if they've taken a shower. Some people said they would go to friends' apartments to clean up. However a bunch of the protestors confessed to me that they have not showered since the start of the movement. In my opinion, the smell is extremely pungent. And the camp site is littered with trash, cardboard and garbage bags piled up.

Nudity: At least two women had their naked breasts exposed. Apparently, it is legal. (I asked a police officer nearby.) But there's no question it's inconsiderate. The site is surrounded by popular tourist destinations in the Financial District and there are tons of families with young children that frequent those locations.

Drugs: Another thing that caught me by surprise was the use of marijuana. I walked right by a protestor smoking weed in broad daylight. The police must have been just 20 feet away too. If you're at a protest site surrounded by hundreds of police officers and trying to get out your important message out, then it's probably not the best idea to light one up!

The Bleachers

Go fuck yourself, Julia, and your elitist, Wall St-sympathetic agenda. How about people getting arrested by the NYPD while they're citing an obscure 166 year-old law banning masks? How about the fact that 85 people or more have been arrested for nothing? Or that when Liz Cheney had her own little Woodstock protesting terrorists getting civilian trials, she was given a stage and not harassment whatsoever? Or is the fact that Free Speech is only for Republicans too embarrassing to say out loud? Because it is.

Go blow a stockbroker and leave the heavy lifting to those of who CAN write, OK, sweetcheeks?
